Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for presenting articles, in particular on shop displays.
  • a display system which consists of a vertical panel carrying horizontal support rods on which cards are hung, usually made of cardboard, on which the articles displayed for sale are imprisoned by means of a sheet of a transparent plastic, thermoformable, stuck on this card (so-called "blister packs").
  • the invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device for presenting individual items in store, which can be used in displays of the aforementioned type, which allows contact with the object and its examination, while preventing its release. , and the support of which can possibly be reused later by the buyer to make a device for storing the article.
  • the subject of the invention is, for this purpose, a device for presenting articles in store, of the type in which the article is fixed on a plate, rigid and pierced with holes, which is hung on a display, characterized in that that it comprises a plate, the holes of which open on its rear face by orifices of square shape, and at least one member for fixing the article by overlapping, which is provided with buttons pressed by elastic engagement in the holes and locked in place by the sides of the square holes.
  • the holes in the plate open out on its front face by an orifice of round shape, substantially circumscribed to the orifice of square shape on the opposite face.
  • the heads of the buttons pressed elastically by the front hole of the holes are retained by the edges of the opposite square orifice and can in no case pass through this orifice without being totally damaged.
  • the article being fixed only by the member carrying the buttons can be touched, handled and examined by a possible buyer, without risk however of being released.
  • the plates undergoing no deformation during the rupture of the fixing member can easily be reused as storage elements by the user.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown from the front and back respectively, an article presentation device according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • This device comprises a rectangular plate 1 comprising a network of holes designated as a whole by the reference 2 and formed by rows parallel to each other and to the sides of the plate.
  • the network 2 of holes extends over at least half of the surface of the plate 1, from one end thereof, the plate having at its opposite end an opening 3 allowing it to be suspended from a horizontal rod of a display (not shown) in a store.
  • Advertising or decorative patterns 4 can be affixed to the plate, for example in the vicinity of the opening 3, as shown.
  • An article 5, which following the example shown is a universal clamp, is fixed to the plate 1 by means of a fixing member 6 which, in this case, consists of a bar made of a flexible material comprising, at each of its ends, a button 7 adapted to cooperate by engagement elastic with a hole 8 of the network 2.
  • a fixing member 6 which, in this case, consists of a bar made of a flexible material comprising, at each of its ends, a button 7 adapted to cooperate by engagement elastic with a hole 8 of the network 2.
  • each hole 8 opens out on the front face, or presentation face, of the plate 1 through a round orifice 8a, while it opens out on the opposite face through a square hole 8b.
  • the side walls of the hole are inclined and widen towards the front face, so that the circular orifice 8a is practically circumscribed by the square of the corresponding orifice 8b.
  • the square orifices 8b are oriented so that their diagonals are parallel to the sides of the plate, that is to say that their sides are inclined by about 45 ° with respect to these sides.
  • the fixing member 6 is clearly represented in FIG. 3.
  • This member consists, according to this example, by a flat bar made of flexible material comprising at each end, on one of its faces, a button 7 having a head partially hemispherical 9, for example made of material by molding with the bar 6, to which it is connected by a short rod 10.
  • the head 9 has a diameter slightly greater than that of the rod 10 and delimits with it a shoulder 12 on the most of its periphery, but has a flat 13 towards the inside of the bar, the flat 13 of the two buttons 7 thus being turned towards one another.
  • the bar 6 also comprises, on the same face, several rows of projections formed by very small teeth or points 11, also made of material by molding, which gives it have a certain roughness.
  • the rods 10 of the heads 9 have a diameter which is smaller than that of the holes 8.
  • the heads 9 have a larger diameter so that, when the heads 9 are presented opposite these holes, they must be push in and engage them elastically by deformation of the shoulder 12. The latter then resumes its shape and presses on the rear face of the plate.
  • the flat 13 facilitates penetration through the hole 8 by reducing the necessary deformation of the shoulder 12. Extraction is however strictly prohibited because this shoulder, which is circular and almost forms a complete crown, is in abutment against the plate itself, beyond the sides of the square hole.
  • the head of the button is indicated in phantom and its position relative to the orifice 8b appears clearly.
  • the bar 6 overlaps the article to be presented and in particular the clamp 5 and retains it securely, so that it can only be released by destroying the fixing member 6. A possible user can touch it , examine it closely, without risk of damaging the attachment.
  • the fixing member 6 is advantageously made of plasticized PVC containing for example between 20 and 40% of plasticizer, and preferably from 20 to 25%. It is easily obtained by molding and therefore constitutes an inexpensive element, which can have variable shapes depending on the article to be maintained.
  • FIG. 4 shows, for example in section, an article 14, of round section, such as the handle of a tool, held on a plate by means of a fixing member 16 whose buttons 17 have been engaged elastically in the holes 8 of the plate 1.
  • a fixing member 16 whose buttons 17 have been engaged elastically in the holes 8 of the plate 1.
  • Figure 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the member 6, for an article having a hole, such as saw blades or the like.
  • the bar 6 has, in its central part, a lug 60 projecting in the same direction as the buttons 7 and having a length at least equal to that of these buttons.
  • a lug centers the bar relative to the article but above all locks it on the latter by penetrating into a hole 8 in the wafer l, which prevents any relative sliding of the article and the wafer.
  • the fixing member 26 has the shape of a T and has the heads 27 at the end of each of its branches and several rows of small teeth 21 projecting from its internal face.
  • fixing member can also be constituted by a rod of any cross-section, circular or polygonal, comprising teeth such as 21.
  • Fasteners may also have other geometric shapes, for example a V, X, Y or other shape, by having elastic snap buttons at each end of their branches.
  • the plate 1 can be made of different rigid materials, for example impact polystyrene, or any other suitable material allowing easy and rapid mass production and therefore inexpensive.
  • the plate 1 preferably comprises, as shown, a network 2 of several rows of holes, which makes it possible to mount various articles on the same type of plate, the buttons of the fixing members being similar and penetrating into the appropriate holes, whatever whatever the form of the organ and the article. It is however possible to limit the number of these holes, or even to provide holes of different dimensions, if necessary. In all cases, the engagement of the heads of the buttons 7, 17 is carried out in the same manner.
  • a cylindrical, axial recess 62 (fig. 6) in the rods 10 of the buttons 7 or 17.
  • This recess 62 opens onto the external face of the bar and thus allows the introduction of a tool, which can exert an axial pressure well centered on the buttons.
  • the resistance of the head 9 and the shoulder 12 is however in no way reduced.
  • the rigidity of the plate facilitates the positioning of the fixing member and, of course, the suspension of the assembly thanks to the opening 3, but also it guarantees that only the fixing member will be damaged during release the item.
  • the plate 1 will remain perfectly intact and may therefore be used again by the buyer.
  • FIG. 6 shows an example of such a use for the support of an object which is constituted, in this example, by a small plastic box intended to contain screws or the like.
  • This box designated by the reference 30, is fixed to the plate 1 by means of fixing members 36 which can be integral with the box 30, or even be glued to the latter, and include buttons 37 whose heads are adapted to cooperate with the holes 8 of the plate.
  • the buyer who has acquired a number of items such as tools may also wish to have them handy, for example on a wall above a work surface.
  • FIG. 7 is a partial view showing the production of a modular table for hanging articles produced by means of several presentation plates, as described above.
  • These plates 1, 31, 41 are arranged in support means 42 constituted by a first section 43, having in section an H shape, one of the vertical branches of which has a flange 44 folded down so as to delimit a gutter 45 in inverted U, and a second profile 46 having, in section, a shape having a shoulder and comprising a first part 47, having a section complementary to that of the gutter 45, and a second part 48 delimiting with the part 47 a housing for receiving the outer edge of the gutter 45.
  • the profile 46 is fixed to a wall, or other support, by means of screws 49 mounted in holes 50 extending through the part 48.
  • the section 43 is fitted by its gutter 45 on the branch 47 and can receive the plates 1, 31, 41 in the groove 51 delimited between the upper ends of the parallel branches of the H-section.
  • the plates can thus be held edge to edge in the same plane and constitute a perforated surface on which can be hung tools, or the like, by means of suspension members of known type, such as that represented in FIG. 10 and designated by reference 52.
  • This suspension member 52 is constituted by a rod which may have, for example, a longitudinal rib 53 intended to provide it with a certain rigidity, and is terminated at its outer end by a sphere 54 and, at its opposite end, by an appendage 55.
  • the latter preferably has a square section and is curved at a right angle so as to comprise a rectilinear part 56 having a length equal to the thickness of a plate 41 and limited by a shoulder 57 intended to come to bear. on the front of the plate.
  • This appendage 55 thus fits exactly into a hole 8 and is immobilized there.
  • the fixing profile 46 can be produced in the form of short lengths to maintain the profile 43.
  • the sectional shape of the profile 43 allows it to receive additional plates extending in opposite directions, in the groove opposite the groove 51.
  • the invention therefore provides a presentation device which is less expensive than those of the prior art, is reusable, which not only saves cost but also saves material, and allows the potential buyer a real appreciation qualities of the article while being inviolable.
